Quantum Fuzz (NoMojo Fuzz)

[m-Kresol]

And another one down. This one was waiting for the right knobs for a few weeks as well.
I designed the switching for the stomps myself. It was easy enough, but still it's my first genuinely self-designed "circuit", I'm kind of proud that it works flawlessly. It's designed so that the white LEDs always indicate which effect is engaged - also in bypass mode. Since I wanted it to be switchable by foot, I went with a 1590B and circumvent my first 1590A build. It was a PITA to get all the non-pcb-mounted switches in there with all the wires, so I can't even imagine how Dave managed to get it into a 1590A that clean: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=12068.msg117311#msg117311

It's my first Fuzz project and also my first SMD attempt. Great project and great tones! I soldered it with the hot air method using a standard heatgun. Besides one resistor flowing off and was hence never ever seen again, everything went surprisingly smooth and it was really rewarding and fun to see when the parts align themselves when the solder paste melts.

The only minor flaw is that I accidentally drilled a little to deep with the stepper bit on the left LED bezel so it is a little lower than the right. Nevermind, though.The cover design is in line with my first builds (quantum overdrive, delay and octaver). Enough said:

That looks great!  Nice wiring, too!

I like the white knobs on black background and vice versa.

That is awesome!

Did you BeDazzle those stomps? 

Very sparkly!!!

Great build!

Looks great! Those knobs were totally worth waiting for.

It was dark already so I had to use a flash for taking the photos. It's just the metal or dust reflecting the light. Doesn't sparkle in real life

I really like the yin/yang kinda graphics too.  Great job!
Anybody ever Bedazzled a pedal?, I bet that'd be special!

Nice work.  It sure doesn't look like your first SMD build.  I still need to try the solder paste method.
